October 21st, 1926. PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL Mr. Edward Ingraham, Purchasing Agent, The E. Ingraham Company, Bristol, Conn. Dear Mr. Ingrahamt- Thanks for the clipping enclosed in your letter of October 20th. We knew of this case, but had seen no publicity until your clipping arrived. For your information. I may say that the Waterbury people had as exhaustive examination made of their girls on Monday and Tuesday of this week. I will have more information by the latter part of the week. According to present plans, I expect to be in Bristol Wednesday, October 27th, at which time I should be in & posi- tion to give you complete information. Referring to the last aaragraph in your letter, we can not understand how anyone could sell a radium dial clock for $1.00 retail. So far as our information, and we feel that we are well posted, there are none of the American concerns using a lower grade on radium dials than Undark "L". It is true that there are some foreign clocks imported from time to time of a very low grade dial, and it may be that some of these have been sold as low as $1. each. We shall endeavor to che this point and if we find any information of interest, will C tainly pass it along to you. Yours truly, President. CBLEE:OB
